Introduce Yourself Online
For online classes this template works to allow students to introduce themselves to each other and the teacher. Family was left off since the group I planned to use it for might have had some family issues but it is editable. Remove "drink" for example and put in family.

Needs and Wants
I teach Economics to EFL English Village kids in S. Korea. I use this worksheet at the end of a 90 minute class to "wrap things up." Even the big kids like to color. Of course, you have to have the supplies -- crayons, glue stick, and scissors. You could substitute color pictures and just have them cut and paste.
